HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 28, 1911.

Application filed March 3, 1911. Serial No. 612,148.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, FRANCIS H. Haynes, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hutchinson, in the county ofReno and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon burners.

My invention is particularly adapted for use in burning crude oil.

The object of'my invention is to provide a burner which is simple in construction and efiicient and economical in operation, and which may be readily adjusted to burn different grades of oil.

The novel features of my invention are hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the preferred form of my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the burner. Fig. 2 is a top view of the drip pa'n. Fig. 3 is a top view of the boiler with the cover removed. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the vapor discharge pipe and lock nut. Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the burner. Fig. 6 is a vertical section at right angles to Fig.

Similar reference characters denote similar parts.

The numeral 1 denotes a drip pan having in the bottom portion one or more vertical air inlets 2, the side wall of the drip pan having one or more outlets 3 for the discharge of the products of combustion. On the inner side of the wall of the drip pan are lugs 4 which support a pan like member 5 of a steam boiler, said member being, preferably, of less outside diameter than the inner diameter of the upper end of the drip pan 1. The member 5 has its upper edge mounted in-an annular groove in the lower side of a cover member 6. The bottom of the member 5 is provided with an upwardly raised portion 7 having a central vertical steam discharge outlet 8 the lower end of Which is preferably screw threaded and has vertically adjustable therein the upper end of a vertical vapor discharge pipe 9, the upper end of which is externally screw threaded and fitted to the threaded portion of the outlet 8. V

The bottom of the drip pan 1 is provided centrally with a raised conical boss 10 the upper end of which projects into said pipe being vertically adjustable toward and from the boss 10 by being turned in the proper direction in the outlet 8. A lock nut 11 may be mounted on the threaded part of the pipe 9 for clamping against the under side of the member 5 to secure the pipe 9 in the position to which it may be adjusted.

The parts are held together by a vertical. bolt 12 which extends through a vertical hole in the cover member 6 and through the outlet 8 and pipe 9, the lower threaded end being fitted in a vertical threaded hole in the apex of the boss 10, and the upper end having a head which bears on the upper side of the cover member 6.

The pipe 9 is provided with a fuel passage 13 which preferably is located near the lower end of the pipe and inclines downwardly and inwardly so as to project a jet against the boss 10, the flaring surface of which serves to difiuse the jet of fuel. Connected to the inlet end ofthe passage 13 is a fuel conductor 1 1 which may be connected to any suitable source of supply, not shown.

The member 5 is provided with a hole in which is secured the discharge end of a con ductor 15 the other end of which is con nected to a source of water supply, not shown. The bottom of the member 5 is preferably provided with a. boss 16 which is provided with a vertical hole 17 for the escape of water. The hole 17 is located above a portion of the bottom of the drip pan 1, which portion is inclosed by a vertical flange 18 the ends of'which connect with the side wall of the drip pan and form a basin 19, the bottom of which is provided with a vertical hole 20 for the escape of water collected in said basin.

In operating my invention, oil is first poured upon the cover member mitted to How 1, where it is burner. heated, oil is permitted to flow into the pipe 9 from. the conductor 14-. Water is also permitted to enter the boiler member 5 through the conductor 15. The hole 17 in the boss 16 is provided so as to permit water in the member 5 to escape when the water rises to a level above the top of the boss 16. The water so escaping will pass into the basin 19 6 and per ignited to initially heat the from which it will escape by the hole 20.

The water in the member 5 will be con-- verted by the heat of the burner into steam,

When the burner has been thus I therefrom into the drip pan loo Q mes which will pass through the euilez 8 and into the pipe 9 Where it will mix with the oil vapor produced by the vaporizing 0f the fuel entering the pipe 9 through the The mixeel steam and oil VRPQT will pass out from the lower end of the e 9 and will deflected and diffused by (me conical boss 10 so that it will readil gle with the air eniei-ing the drip pan 1 through the openings 01 inlets The products of combustion will pass from the pan 1 around the member and tlireugli the lets 3 thus heating the boiler and the (ulnar parts of the burner, whereby the OpliiilllOIl is made coniinuous.

removing the concluciors an: if and the bolt 12, the parts may be separated so as to permitany rlesn'ed adgusiinent oi the lock nut 11 and pipe to suit the pan ticular quality or kind of fuel eniple ed After such acljustmen the parts any be again assembled in operative relatien e; Eli other, after which the bu 'ner may be 0pended as I have already clesci'iberi. By ver- Having thus cleseribediny invention, "What and desire 1'50 secure by ei i a discharge end into wnicli said nos 1 i nail the said outlet a a iij cli'o ":11 provided wit 1 conical deflecting boss,
